right over that state border. that's what the democrats are doing. but the republicans from alabama, they are not just day tripping across the state border to somewhere very much like where they are. the republicans in alabama are going long. 200 alabama republican volunteers have reportedly signed up to campaign in ohio. and in some other states in the house, but also ohio. going door to door, soliciting votes for mitt romney. in great howard dean perfect storm style, the alabama republicans have a name for the volunteers they're going to be busing around the country. they're calling them battle ground patriots. they're not just going on trips, they say that they're going on deployments. so bus loads of alabama republicans are deploying, they're going to descend on swing states later this month to persuade swayed people who aren't going to vote for mitt romney, to vote for mitt romney. regardless of voters say how they feel about individual candidates, voters this year do not like the idea of the republican party. the republican party is not selling
